Into The Groove

Yesterday I went into food awareness mode. I figured out a day with the ISA and snacks and then a bit more calories for working out. ISA figures that to lose the inches and pounds, you need a min of 1200 calories a day. However, when you work out you burn calories and generally if you are not taking in more to compensate you go into starvation mode. So I added about 200 more calories to MFP set up to balance out the days I want to work out. This is something I kinda knew already but was backed up with the experiences from others that I found on the FB page. I updated MFP and charged my FitBit. I am starting over and using the tools I have now to make little changes before my stuff gets here.

I also did a mock day with the meals and snacks and what I have on hand for snacks to see where I would come out calorie wise. Yesterday with just being aware of what I was eating and when-huge side note, I need to become much better at measuring and weighing my food. But with that said I had a 1615 calorie day. Just a bit over the 1400 I set up but I had a slice of apple pie with cool whip which is what pushed me over. On my mock day I am sitting at 976 calories for the day. The shakes are 240, snacks are suppose to be around 100 and your meal between 400-600. I have the shakes in there for breakfast and lunch. Also a snack between breakfast and one in the afternoon. And then I took a look at what I already have on hand for food and planned my dinner around that. That gives me room to have another 300 in calories if I need them. And those calories may change if I add fruit to the shakes which I can't really do unless I am home. I am not going to haul my blender to work. But maybe I can make a shake with fruit for dinner and eat my meal during lunch at work. We will see what works best. Maybe I am over thinking/planning it all...

I do believe that looking into so far, coffee is a no no cause of all of the toxins. Even the water needs to be bottled and not from the tap because of the chemicals. Lucky for me we have free bottled water at work. Unlucky for me we have a K-cup machine and all of the free coffee I want. I am planning on going from 2 cups to 1 which also will mean I start drinking my water 2 hours earlier.

Again, I am probably over thinking all of this considering my kit isn't even here yet.
